JASPER — After more than six hours of deliberations, the jury came back with a guilty verdict in Travis Rashaul Brown’s murder trial Friday.

Brown, a 30-year-old from Lake City, was on trial for the June 3, 2015, murder of 58-year-old Gerald Osborne.

While a grand jury indicted Brown for first degree murder while armed, he was found guilty of a lesser charge of second degree murder Friday after a week-long trial. The jury went in for deliberations at 9:29 a.m. Friday and emerged with its verdict at 3:50 p.m.

The trial began Monday with John Weed prosecuting.

Brown will be sentenced Aug. 2.

Osborne, of Lake City, was found lying in the middle of the roadway on County Road 25A, just a couple miles outside of White Springs in June 2015. Responding officers found Osborne had been shot twice, but was still alive. Osborne was able to tell officers that a man named “Slim” had picked him up in Lake City in a grey Cadillac and brought him to the site on CR 25A and shot him.

Osborne later died of his wounds according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office.

According to Hamilton County Sheriff Harrell Reid, Osborne’s cell phone records were subpoenaed, which led the HCSO to investigate Brown after discovering his phone number on those records.

According to Reid, Brown was called “Slim” by others and had access to a grey Cadillac.
